Flavor Profile: Brett Cooper

The former Outerlands chef takes his toque to the other side of town, co-cheffing at the soon-to-open Tenderloin spot Huxley. His forthcoming (as yet unnamed) restaurant, due in the Mission later this year, will serve creative Californian cuisine.

When did you first know you wanted to be a chef?

When I was around 20 and realized that I had really enjoyed working in a kitchen for the last couple years. That's when I decided to move to SF.
